In response to Browne's comment, it's a case of rapidly changing circumstances throwing a player off his game. If he had played the same game in blitz he would have no trouble, but suddenly reduced to blitz time controls (and Karpov not) would change any player's mentality (except perhaps Karpov, Kasparov, and Reshevsky ( who was known for that)).

harrylime: Browne went for it on 24.Bb6. I've just played this on Karpov's side in the 'guess the move' section. I got an 'outstanding' but it's odd playing thru Karpov's games as I am doing just now.. My prejudices are being relaxed somewhat lol

I'm finding out Karpov was a tenacious beast over the chessboard.
